Bulls’ Kirk Hinrich ‘has a ways to go’

Chicago Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich is scheduled to undergo
another MRI on his severely bruised calf today. Hinrich’s injury is failing to
progress as the team hoped, and coach Tom Thibodeau told reporters – including K.C. Johnson of The Chicago Tribune – that the guard “has a ways to go” in his
recovery.

Hinrich’s initial MRI showed damage to muscle fibers in his
calf, but he hasn’t recovered as the Bulls expected. For this reason, the team
will take another look at the injured calf to see if there is additional damage
delaying Hinrich’s return.
